When you have wanderlust it won't let go of you no matter how much you love your family. I'm leaving family to go to family, however, but if I'm honest I'll confess that the road's allure will leave me sleepless with anticipation tonight.Tomorrow I drive to Vancouver, BC in the early morning. My goal is the springs of Mount Shasta for it's water which is said to taste like no other. I'll sleep in Portland OR tomorrow night. Tuesday night I'll see my daughter Jocelyn in Vancouver for the first time in 2 years. Thanks to their father, my children have the option of having dual citizenship and Jocelyn is the first to take advantage of that opportunity. She now carries two passports and in today's world, that is a significant option, but this blog is not a political platform. Lucia heard from the Canadian consulate last week and I suspect she may be next. One of the qualifications, however, is continuous residence for 12 months before the citizenship is granted and it may be some time before she will consider taking Malakai up there. In the end, Canadian and American citizenships would benefit him as well. Que sera, sera. On the way back to Nevada City, I'll spend nights with Angela and Rick and with Stephanie and Dave. I'll return to California in 10 days. Here's the latest shot of Kai, as Lucia occasionally calls him. I have a pillow on my bed that is also a music box. He asks me to wind it up, then lays his head on it 'til the music ends. Lucia's photos center upon her art homework for the class she's been taking at Sierra College. She's a talented artist. I'm happy that she's taken it up again. Danny and Nala are staying here with her. I'll miss them... traveling with your four legged friends is wonderful. At least I won't need Nala to keep me warm, spring is here... feels a lot like early summer already.
